The diffraction grating has 5.5 105 lines per metre and is set so that
its plane is normal to the incident light and is situated 1.50 m from a
large screen. Bright spots are observed at 0.55 m and 1.44 m from the
central bright spot.
a. Calculate the wavelength of the red light from observations of the
first order light.[626 nm]
b. Suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of obtaining the
wavelength by using observations of the second order diffracted
light rather than the first order light.
